NBC Sports’ Peter King recently released his preseason power rankings, and not everyone is going to love them.

Seven years before he lost his starting job under center, Joe Flacco couldn’t hold on to the ball. In the second game of the Ravens’ 2011 season, Flacco fumbled. In their next game, two more fumbles. And another fumble the game after that, and after that, over and over, again and again. When

Lamar Jackson supplanted Joe Flacco as the starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens this season and led his team to a surprise NFL playoff berth as AFC North champions. His goal for his tenure with the Ravens is to become their Tom Brady.

Can anyone stop Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore run game? That’s the question everyone was asking heading into wild card weekend. The Ravens felt like the ultimate dark horse – a team with the youngest quarterback in playoff history playing to a different tune than everyone else in the league.

The Chargers went across country for their playoff opener against the Ravens, and posted an impressive win.

Quarterback: Every week it’s easy to say rookie Lamar Jackson needs to improve as a passer, but he is the player who stirs this offense. His running ability adds a dimension either as a scrambler when the pass protection breaks down or on designed runs anywhere on the field. If he is to become a

The Baltimore Ravens have “turned back the clock,” so to speak, over the last six weeks of the 2018 regular season and gone with a run-heavy offense to complement a stout defensive effort as rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson adjusted to the NFL level. The Ravens (9-6) have averaged 218.5 rushing yards

From Baker Mayfield at the top of the first round to Lamar Jackson at the bottom, rookie quarterbacks had an impact, one way or another, in their NFL debuts.

If the Ravens win the AFC North, they might be the team nobody wants to face in January.

The Los Angeles Chargers host the Baltimore Ravens in an AFC Playoff contender matchup in the City of Angels.

Tavon Young’s 12-yard fumble return for a touchdown in the Ravens’ 26-16 victory at the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday marked the cornerback’s first touchdown of his NFL career. It was also his first fumble return for a touchdown since his junior year at Temple in 2014, but he deferred credit

Nick Mensio dives into the matchups and advises who to start and sit for Week 14.

The Baltimore Ravens have piled up 716 yards rushing in the three weeks that Lamar Jackson has been the starting quarterback, and they’ve gone run-first and pass-when-needed. They consistently move the ball down the field, keep it for long stretches and score points. But they do something with this

“There is a new set of issues with playing on the road,” coach John Harbaugh said about Jackson possibly starting. “(That’s) a good way to say it. Crowd noise, cadence, snap counts, communication, even the earphone and getting the plays and things like that, being prepared if that

Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith appears to be moving better and reacting quicker since returning from the torn left Achilles tendon that sidelined him for the final four games of last season and the four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal-conduct policy. The 30-year-old cornerback acknowledged

Justin Tucker had never missed an NFL kick of 33 yards or less, before he missed one in the final minute against the Saints.

But the New Orleans Saints quarterback, fresh off becoming the NFL’s career passing yardage leader, would like to do one thing on Sunday that he hasn’t been able to do in 18 seasons — defeat the Baltimore Ravens. Brees, 39, is 0-3 against the Ravens, the only NFL team he has yet to beat. A

The Ravens had only four cornerbacks for Sunday’s 12-9 overtime loss at the Cleveland Browns, and their hopes of having every hand on deck for Sunday’s game at the Tennessee Titans do not look optimistic. Slot cornerback Tavon Young did not practice Thursday after participating in Wednesday’

The Ravens linebackers, Bills defensive linemen, and the Chiefs secondary are a few of the solid IDP picks for Week 6.

Preseason football! It’s here and we’re being rewarded — uh, I guess — with 12 games tonight to satisfy our NFL cravings. But really, the preseason might not be that bad this year. You may want to turn the games off after the first quarter, but in case you’re debating which games to watch

Cameron Jordan, DE, New Orleans Saints (2 votes) You won’t find any votes here for three-time Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans. Even though he’s coming off two consecutive injury-marred seasons, it’s blasphemous to call one of the two men in NFL history to win

The Heisman Trophy that Lamar Jackson earned as a 19-year-old and the 119 touchdowns he produced at Louisville don’t carry any weight at his first NFL training camp. Just like all the other Baltimore Ravens rookies, Jackson has to prove he can make the transition to the pro game. ”It feels
